6.21

The treatise says: 'Their entrances differ, and their workings must be distinct; each fulfills its nature without altering its functions.' It also says: 'At times it illuminates the Five Classics, at times it spreads the Three Vehicles; in China it uses Chinese speech, transforming the barbarians it uses barbarian tongues.' It also says: 'The Buddha and the Dao are equal in penetrating transformation, yet there is a distinction between the barbarians and the Chinese.'
